Chapter 105: 105: Never Giving Up

“Jing Qian, I heard that Una had gotten a second lead role for Jing Lu but you ruined it. You even fired Una! Why did you do that?

“All because you stomped your way into Qin Yi’s house, made up a scenario in your head, and then blamed it all on Xiao Lu? Jing Qian, you are Xiao Lu’s biological sister, how could you do this to her?”

Hmmm…. Although she already expected this, Cheng Shuyu’s words still managed to cause Jing Qian’s face to turn dark.

Based on the previous owner’s memories, her parents had always treated her like this.

If what she wanted did not hinder Jing Lu, they would try to satisfy her. However, if there was a conflict of interest between her and Jing Lu, she, as the elder sister, would always have to give in.

The previous owner might have been okay with that, but she was not.

Just when Jing Qian was just about to speak up, Father Jing’s voice came from the phone instead.

“Why did you have to talk to her like this? Qianqian has already been extremely nice to Jing Lu. She has been giving in to her younger sister, and this time, it is Jing Lu’s fault. As her elder sister, isn’t it right for Jing Qian to treat her this way? Jing Lu deserved it! Why are you lecturing Qianqian instead?!”

Mother Jing was still trying to argue with Father Jing when he took the phone from her hands.

“Qianqian,” Father Jing said, his voice warm and friendly. It was the total opposite of Mother Jing’s voice. “Don’t be angry at your mother. She was just worried that your sister might fall sick again. You mentioned yesterday that you needed to be by your husband’s side, which was why you were busy. How about today? Would you be able to come home today?”

Upon hearing what Father Jing said, the vicious look in Jing Qian’s eyes slowly disappeared.

“You see, there are so many things that have happened in the past two days, but we don’t know anything about them. We can’t just judge the situation based on what Xiao Lu says, right? What time will you be free today? I’ll get Aunt Wu to make you your favorite dish.”

Jing Qian took a look at the clock and saw that it was already noon. How would Aunt Wu make her favorite dish for lunch?

“I’ll be free tonight.”

The opposite party immediately answered, “Great! Great! I’ll get Aunt Wu to prepare your favorite braised crayfish for dinner. How about that?”

Crayfish?

Jing Qian frowned, “That thing is too small, and I hate peeling it. Get her to prepare some steamed Boston lobsters with garlic, along with an Alaskan King Crab. Don’t forget to add the vermicelli and chili.”

Father Jing was at a loss for words.

These were dishes that he would order when treating a guest for dinner outside. Who would prepare such exquisite dishes at home?

However, Father Jing still readily agreed.

“Right. I’ll get Aunt Wu to prepare these. She will try her best.”

All these were really common foods that Jing Qian would have on a daily basis, but for the Jing family, who were on the verge of bankruptcy, this was considered a luxurious meal.

“She is ordering Boston lobsters and Alaskan King Crab when she’s coming back to her own house?! Just because she had been the Young Mistress of the Zhan family for a few days, she has forgotten her roots?!”

Father Jing was also in a bad mood as he said in an unpleasant tone, “Can you keep it down? Have you not heard the saying that you should keep your head down while staying under someone else’s roof? This incident was entirely Jing Lu’s fault. Jing Qian is still mad about it, but you wanted to lecture her? Aren’t you just looking for trouble?”

When he saw that Mother Jing was still trying to defend herself, he got angry.

“If you further trigger Jing Qian and she decides to break ties with us, where would you be able to get 50 million a year from? How would I get the lands for investment? How would you be able to get roles for Jing Lu in the future?

“Why are you so stubborn? Qianqian only agreed to marry into the Zhan family because of us and Qin Yi. However, now she’s found out that Qin Yi had been cheating on her with Jing Lu. And the fact that we’re still standing on Jing Lu’s side? If it was me, I would have broken ties with my family and Qin Yi, simply remaining as the daughter-in-law of the Zhan family. With the 100 million that I would get annually, along with their resources, I would be able to make myself a well-known actress! Now, doesn’t this sound like a good plan?”
